Rboe..maybe the angle but they appear higher and further apart to me but maybe just a skosh. Changed my mind, think they look the same. Remember the headlight was raised an inch.

Ah, there you go. Moving the headlight probably made them look different and I zero'd in on the wrong thing. Good eye.

Guys, am I imagining things? The left side sprocket cover doesn't look like the standard gray plastic. Could it be aluminum? Plastic doesn't cast a reflection.

I think the silver engines get real metal sprocket covers. I want that!

Looking at the close up's of the front forks in that video has me wondering where the support struts on the Whitehouse K-10 front fender mount up? Anybody that has that fender, can you shed a little light on that for me please?

Really? Cool, another good reason for buying a Deluxe Thumbs Up

That would be a big reason if true. Two and a half weeks to find out?

RE: Chomping At The Bit... - the Ferret - 03-06-2014

Lol to tell you the truth, it doesn't matter to me if it's plastic or metal, doubt I would have noticed.

Confirmed by Mr T..........

Sprocket covers on the 2014 EX are aluminum. Hopefully the Deluxe covers will also be aluminum.

Last year's silver engines had silver colored plastic covers. I know. I have one on my bike.

Ferret, maybe it's just me, but I think think this is a major upgrade. So even though my plans to get a 2014 were put on hold by my better half, my 2013 will be sporting a 2014 ALUMINUM sprocket cover. BananaCelebrateExcited

I hope it fits the 2013.
